Quite awhile back, I wrote about shiny, new toys, and in particular, how exciting and rejuvenating a new relationship is in the beginning. But then when the shine wears off, why does the relationship also lose its luster? The obvious answer is that relationships not built on truths, substance, and care will have no where else to go but down. However, how can that possibly be the answer for every new interest I have?
Another blogger I follow posted a wonderful blog today about Shoots and Ladders. In the post, she talks about the similarities life has to the game - some ups, some downs, some people lead, some people follow, some people win, some people lose. But what is it that makes this so? Why are there more "shoots" than "ladders" for some of us? Now, I have very little in my life to complain about, and truthfully, despite my comments to the contrary, I typically very much enjoy my single life. But I have often wondered - why is that I am so incredibly unlucky in love?
As you've probably garnered, I have met a new potential interest. He's a dancer, of course, but he's also witty, charming, and intriguing. For the past 24 hours, we've done nothing but message one another about anything and everything under the sun. It's exhilarating and intoxicating, and I pray that this time I can keep his interest for more than a fortnight...
